2015 CADILLAC SRX Complaints

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE CONDENSATION AND ARE SO DIM I CAN'T DRIVE AT NIGHT. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT'S ABOUT A $2000.00 REPAIR FOR A CAR THAT IS 4 YEARS OLD. THAT SEEMED RIDICULOUS SO MY HUSBAND AND I BEGAN SEARCHING AND FOUND THAT MANY SRX DRIVERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. I CAN SEE WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE ON HIGH BEAM BUT OTHERS FLASH ME BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO BRIGHT, WHEN I DRIVE ON LOW BEAM AT NIGHT PEOPLE PULL OUT IN FRONT OF ME AND I CAN BARELY SEE THE ROAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING AFTER DUSK, THE HEADLIGHTS WERE DIM AND WERE INSUFFICIENT FOR DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ALL STAR AUTOPLEX (LOCATED AT 1216 E. PALESTINE AVENUE, PALESTINE, TX 75801) AND THE HEADLAMPS WERE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *TT*JB

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS VERY DIM AND HAVE BEEN SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW IN JANUARY OF 2015. CONTACTED DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE SRX FOR WHICH THERE WAS NO FIX. ON MY THIRD SET OF AFTERMARKET HALOGEN BULBS WITH ONLY MARGINAL IMPROVEMENT. CONSIDER IT SOMEWHAT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE DURING NIGHT TIME HOURS. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS WITH HEADLIGHT SWITCH IN AUTOMATIC OR WHEN SELECTING THE "HEADLIGHT ON" POSITION. HEADLIGHTS ALSO APPEAR TO BE AIMED TOO LOW BUT DEALERSHIP CHOSE NOT TO VERIFY AND THERE DOPES NOT APPEAR TO BE AN ADJUSTMENT SCREW; THE MANUAL STATES THAT THE DEALER'S BODY SHOP SHOULD AIM THE LIGHTS.

HEADLIGHTS ARE DIM. IT'S HARD TO DRIVE AND SEE WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. I'VE ALMOST GOT INTO SOME REALLY BAD CAR ACCIDENTS BECAUSE CARS HAVE PULLED OUT RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE MY HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO USE MY BRIGHTS ALL THE TIME AT NIGHT. ON COMING TRAFFIC FLASH ME BECAUSE THEY ARE ON.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN JULY OF 2018 AND NOTICED THE HEADLIGHTS SEEMED DIM. THOUGHT MAYBE I WAS JUST STILL ADJUSTING TO NEW CAR. WENT ON HIGHWAY EARLY IN THE MORNING ONE DAY BEFORE SUNUP AND REALLY COULD NOT SEE.. THOUGHT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE OFF. PULLED OVER AND CHECKED. THEY WERE ON BUT JUST VERY DIM. DEALER SAID IT WOULD COST AROUND $1800. AFTER I SENT THEM COPIES OF ARTICLES I HAD READ ABOUT THESE LAWSUITS BY OTHER PEOPLE, THEY AGREED TO REPLACE HEADLIGHTS FOR FREE. MY CONCERN IS IT WILL NOT WORK OR IT WILL JUST HAPPEN AGAIN IN TIME... AS SOME OTHERS HAVE INDICATED. THEY SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE DRIVING AFTER DUSK, THE HEADLAMPS FAILED TO ADEQUATELY ILLUMINATE THE ROADWAY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH AN AUTO DIMMING FEATURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOYD CHEVROLET CADILLAC BUICK (LOCATED AT 1875 SPARTANBURG HWY, HENDERSONVILLE, NC 28792, (828) 693-3461) AND THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO ADJUST THE HEADLAMPS UPWARDS TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ADJUSTMENT FAILED TO REMEDY THE FAILURE AND POTENTIALLY MADE IT WORSE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY SRX BECAME VERY DIM VERY QUICKLY. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH OF MY OWN, IT APPEARS THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL CADILLAC DEALERSHIP ON 10/1. THEY STATED THEY DIDN'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, BUT SOMEHOW THE LENS WAS BAD. WAS GOING TO COST $1600+ TO REPAIR. I HAD TO WAIT TO DO THAT, BUT IN THE MEANTIME, STARTED DOING MY OWN RESEARCH. I FOUND A FEW CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS HAVE BEEN FILED FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP AGAIN. MY WARRANTY FOR THAT RAN OUT AT 50,275 MILES. THE PROBLEM WAS THERE PRIOR TO THAT MILEAGE. I HONESTLY THOUGHT MY EYES WERE STARTING TO GO BAD AT NIGHT, BUT MY FAMILY NOTICED IT TOO WHEN WE WERE ALL DRIVING TOGETHER ONE EVENING, SO I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. I AM VERY UPSET THAT CADILLAC ISN'T DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. AT THIS POINT, IF I GET IT FIXED, THEY WILL REPLACE IT WITH THE SAME HEADLIGHTS, AS THEY HAVEN'T MADE ANY CHANGES TO THE DESIGN OF THE PIECE FROM WHAT I CAN TELL. SO, THE PROBLEM WILL OCCUR AGAIN. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. CADILLAC/GM REALLY NEEDS TO STEP UP AND TAKE CARE OF THIS.THE CAR CAN NOT BE DRIVEN AT NIGHT UNDER THESE CONDITIONS.

FRONT HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM THEY APPEAR TO BE TURNED OFF. THE CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE AT NIGHT. THE CAR IS IN COVERED PARKING WITH 43,000 MILES. THIS WAS DISCOVERED WHILE NIGHT DRIVING AND THE ONLY WAY TO SEE WAS TO USE BRIGHT BEAMS. INDEPENDENT MECHANIC SAYS THIS IS DEFECT. GM NOT ACKNOWLEDGING VIA RECALL BUT SEE ALL ON INTERNET ACROSS COUNTRY WITH SAME PROBLEM ON THIS CAR YEARS 2010-2015. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED.

HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE WHEN IT IS DARK. I ATTEMPTED TO THIS MORNING AS I NEEDED TO COME IN TO WORK EARLY AND NEARLY WRECKED. I HAD TO PULL OVER OFF THE FREEWAY AND WAIT FOR DAYLIGHT. I KNEW THEY WERE DIM AND BECAUSE OF THAT TRY TO NEVER DRIVE AT NIGHT BUT IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT I OWN A VEHICLE I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE AT DARK.

I HAVE NOTICED FOR THE PAST 3 MONTHS OF THE 3 YEARS I HAVE OWNED THE 2015 CADILLAC SRX THAT THE LOW BEAM HEAD LAMPS ARE TO DIM TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THIS IS A SERVE SAFETY ISSUE. THE HEADLAMPS THROW NOW RECOGNIZABLE LIGHT ON THE ROAD. THE LIGHTS ARE ON AND HAVE NO DIRECTIONAL ISSUES. CALLS TO MULTIPLE GM DEALERSHIPS AND THE GM CUSTOMER SERVICE WERE MET WITH THE RESPONSE OF NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANY ISSUES OR LIKE COMPLAINTS. MY VEHICLE SHOWED NOW EVIDENCE OF PLASTIC LENS DEGRADATION, NOR YELLOWING, NOR CONDENSATION. MULTIPLE FORUMS REPORT THE PROBLEM WITH NO SOLUTION.
